(Community Matters) James Huffines is pretty amazing. Just reading that he’s agreed to chair the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce in 2011. He currently serves as chairman of the University of Texas board of regents. And, he has a day job. James and his wife, Patty, are extraordinary in the time and effort they dedicate to community.

Eugene Sepulveda
